For many years, JATCO has been striving to provide high quality, customer-satisfying products under our mission “to provide value to our customers, to automotive culture and to society.” Today, with the automotive industry on the threshold of a new era, our stance and commitment to this mission remains unchanged.

As the world places a greater focus on global environmental issues, there is increasing demand for more economical and cleaner automobiles. In addition, the automobile market is rapidly expanding from a focus on developed counties to include emerging nations and markets. In order for the automobile to remain the ideal partner for society, the role of our automatic transmissions (Step ATs and CVTs) as a key component directly affecting fuel efficiency has also increased.

With the development of the world’s first toroidal CVT and the CVT with an auxiliary gearbox that produces the world’s highest gear ratio range, and the world’s only belt CVT for full-sized automobiles, JATCO continues to provide cutting-edge products that challenge the status quo, and are driven by a constant spirit of seeking out and incorporating new technologies.

Looking forward, in order to continue to pursue the role required of us over the next century as a leader in the transmission industry ? one that can continue to supply the world’s top products, each employee must take on the challenge of bringing about innovation in monozukuri by harnessing all types of know-how. Moreover, our vigorous activities in the promotion of globalization will enable us to listen more closely to our worldwide customers, and support us in providing highly valued products.

Our goal is to pursue our original values for the future of automotive society, and ensure that we will continue to provide value to all our stakeholders based on our relationships with customers, employees, business partners and society as a whole.
